On Fire
** This is a response paper I wrote after reading Specimen Days (which I highly recommend). The second story deals with children suicide bombers in modern day NYC. This response is to just one instance in the book, but I like it so I thought I would share. And D drew the boy. He will [...]
Take a moment
Find something small to see – a window ledge, a flower, the way the light falls through the screen onto the textures of the table in the living room. Look, closely. What do you feel? That pink in the window is the brightness of my home, and that texture, the thread of my life. I [...]
List for your Friday
One final down – two to go My poor arm/hand/shoulder is not used to writing anymore. I feel so old. Oh my… these are just fucking cute. I want them all. I had my shirt on inside out when I went to school. It was one of those days. Had a long talk with D [...]
Because… she is proud of me
I had my last visit with the shrink. She seemed startled to see me, perhaps she didn’t recognize my name on the chart. The tattoo usually a good reminder We talked about why I hadn’t been back in so long, and where I am with my meds and my health. I honestly forgot to call [...]
In my infantile wisdom…
I like temper tantrums. Yes, I know — it’s SHOCKING. Don’t know where I was going with that… just thought I would share. So, I’m a dumbass. With the graduation, move, etc – I forgot to call the headshrinker. I had my last appointment with her in September, and now I am out of meds. [...]
GRADUATION
Here’s the e-vite. Everyone is welcome…even those of you who don’t live locally. Please bring a friend or five, a beverage or ten, and something to snack on. My family is going to be here… Mom and Alexis and Derick fly in on the 11th of May. I don’t know what I’m more excited about [...]
Eye — dee — errrs….
I’ve been digging through my imagination for an idea for the first peice I am writing for Seton Hill. In order to get us familiar with the process, we are submitting a short work (I think 5 pages) to the critique group before we meet in June. I’m assuming that I am supposed to come [...]
Wow…
This is just damn funny!
My poor eyes
I couldn’t read the other layout. I think my eyes are going — along with my muscles, my brain and my motivation. Is this what old feels like? I still like this layout, but the colors bug me. And yes, that is the end of my whining.
If you look…
It’s worse than you think. I made a list, checked it twice and didn’t get a damn thing done. Scratch that. We cleaned the house. You will no longer see fuzz-bunnies the size of the cat floating about. I had a manic snap, so I went to bed around 8 this morning and then got [...]
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO
I GOT MY CAP AND GOWN!!! *passes out*

Movin right along…
We have worked extensively on the reproductive organs of the flower. Every time we talk about ovaries and stamens and pistels, I think of Reproduction from Grease 2. Reproduction, reproduction! Put your pollen tube to work. Reproduction, reproduction! Make my stamen go berserk. Reproduction! I don’t think they even know what a pistil is! I [...]
Kucinich to File Articles of Impeachment Against Cheney
I found this linked to a Salon page I read regularly. I don’t really care to argue politics, because we all know that I am very liberal. But this makes me happy. At least Kucinich has some balls. Now let’s see if the rest of the party can pull their collective heads out of their [...]
Overheard at school….
“It’s so trendy to be a socalist”
No wonder I couldn’t find our cat food…. shit!
NOTICE: We are receiving consumer complaints regarding the Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Foods. We do not know what is wrong with the food at this time, but we have heard that animals are vomiting and experiencing kidney problems. Although the problems seem to be focused [...]
From the green
I bought my plane tickets for Seton Hill, and applied for Financial Aid. I even rented a car. . It cost more for the car than the flight. How fucked up is that? It’s more expensive to fart around PA for five days than to fly up there? That’s just obscene. I get back home [...]
LOOK!

My Florida
**this is unedited. Sorry for the clunky writing** Little creatures swirl around your pillow while you sleep. They stuff cotton in your open mouth, and giggle when you choke on your dreams. With the edges of your paranoia, they tickle your toes and the soft spot on the back of your knee. They giggle when [...]
